Miri Christmas Parade & Concert

The Christmas Parade & Concert has always been the highlight every year for all the Christian community in Miri. This would be the time we were all gathered together and walk around Miri City to share the good news of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We gathered at Miri City Fan at 5.00pm and it was such a great joy to see everyone came in unity for our Lord Jesus. We were entertained by some presentations - praise and worship and also the combined choir from all the various churches in Miri.

While waiting for the time to walk around Miri, everyone linger around and fellowship with one another.

The Anglican were presented by the St. Columba's Parish and that's including the various extension centres (Taman Tunku, Lambir and Tudan) and also from the Good Shepherd Parish, Lutong. The AYC worked together with the PYF GS Lutong to perform a very compact presentation - choir + dance (tambourine and ngajat) + sketch in about 5 minutes.

Visit to the Sg. Liam longhouse

On the 11th December 2009, some of our youths went up to Sg. Liam longhouse together with the Operafest Children choir to sing carols to those who dwell in the longhouse. It was fun to be together with them and indeed the fellowship was very meaningful to them.

We left the church around 5.30pm and arrived in Sg. Liam longhouse around 6.30pm. There were 11 cars drove together to Sg. Liam.

We had scripture readings, singing of carols and also presentation from the Operafest Choir.

After the presentation from the Operafest Choir, Archdeacon Solomon taught all the kids from the longhouse the J.O.Y song again. Then we distributed some party packs to all the children and we were also given some light refreshment from the people in the longhouse.

We went back around 11pm and arrived home past midnight. However, we really enjoyed the short trip together.
